Published 15.06.2015AGR’s professional training business, TRACS Training, is at Getenergy this week.

The annual Getenergy Conference and Exhibition celebrates excellence in training and gathers E&P industry in London for a two day event.

This year's event is special for TRACS Training as the unit is running for the prestigious Getenergy Awards 2015. The awards ceremony is taking place at One Whitehall Place, London and offers a high profile platform for the success stories whilst also providing a framework to measure, record and recognise achievement in areas of critical importance to the global oil and gas business.

TRACS Training has been nominated for the award for its partnership with the University of Aberdeen.

AGR recently announced its collaboration with the honourable institution whereby the AGR team will contribute to the delivery of the petroleum engineering Masters programme. The partnership follows on from AGR’s involvement in the MSc Field Development Plan and Economics (FDP) course, which was a team-based integrated case study involving the technical and commercial development of an offshore oil field. The FDP exercise was developed and led by AGR’s TRACS Training and the students’ presentations were evaluated by a panel of industry professionals and academics from the University.

The new MSc Petroleum Engineering programme begins in September 2015 and is the latest addition to the world class suite of engineering programmes at the Aberdeen University bringing students closer to the energy industry.

TRACS Training was established in 1993 and it has trained over 25,000 people in 45 countries. The team delivers over 50 technical and commercial courses tailor-made to individual client’s needs and requirements.
